Look for alot more cops on the roads for the holiday weekend travel. It's part of a national effort known as Operation CARE, which stands for Combined Accident Reduction Effort. State police want you to be especially careful if you're driving south as Tropical Storm Arthur brings rain and could be a hurricane by the end of the week. Last year's holiday weekend, more than 11,000 drivers got speeding tickets.
